McMillan Street Sewer Improvement Project
Estimated Dates & Work Schedule
Anticipated End Date: 2026-02-28
Regular Work Hours: Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Project Objective
JEA contractor crews (Ferreira Construction) are continuing work in your area to replace and rehabilitate a portion of sanitary sewer force main and manhole located on W. 13th Street between McMillan Street and Fairfax Street. This section of sewer main and manhole have reached the end of their useful service lives and are proactively being replaced to ensure the reliability of the sewer service that serves your neighborhood.
Sanitary sewer force mains are pressurized sewer pipes used to transport sewage to JEA wastewater treatment plants. Failures to sewer mains and manholes can potentially cause major sewer back-ups, environmental harm and roadway issues.
Temporary Road Closures - May 2025 to November 2025
Bypass piping was previously installed as part of earlier phases of the project. The next phase will involve placing the bypass system into service. For the safety of crews and the public, temporary road closures will be required during this phase of construction. Please see the work area map below.
